Rory McIlroy Biography

Rory McIlroy was born in Holywood, Northern Ireland on the 4th of May 1989. He made his first appearance in a European Tour event a few days after turning sixteen, when he took part in the 2005 British Masters. He made the cut on the European Tour for the first time as a seventeen year old at the 2007 Dubai Desert Classic, where he had to forego prize money of over â¬7,600 due to his amateur status.

Rory turned professional on 19th September 2007, a day before the Quinn Direct British Masters. At the British Masters, he shot 290 (+2) which put him in a tie for 42nd place. McIlroy finished in 3rd place at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in October. He finished 3 strokes behind the winner Nick Dougherty. Due to this performance, McIlroy put himself in position to become the youngest Affiliate Member in the history of The European Tour to earn a tour card.
